I am using suse 11.0 on my laptop. I maed some changes in the grub.conf and menu.lst. After that it didnt work.
So i used SUSE DVD to repair the grub. It showed all the OS in the system, and at the end showed repairing done well…
But my problem is that…when now computer boots…it shows grub is loading and goes to the grub prompt
grub>
NO menu for selecting the operating systems I have on my system.
Please help
Try following this recipe exactly, to force laying code into the Master Boot Record:
Insert Suse’s installation CD/DVD and reboot the computer. On the boot screen choose to “Repair Installed System”. Wait for three choices and select “Expert Tools”. Then click option “Install New Boot Loader”. Select the partition where you installed Suse (if asked). You’ll get the Grub GUI setup screen. Check under the Tab “Boot Loader Installation” that the checkmark is in “Boot from Master Boot Record” and remove any other checkmarks. Click “Finish”. Wait for message “The boot loader was installed successfully”. Click OK –> Next –> Finish. Ignore any error messages and reboot.
That should install an elementary Grub and allow you to boot to openSUSE, so try it and cross your fingers. There’s a further step to get back any other operating systems on the drive/s. The quote is extracted from a tutorial on Suse & Grub, full details here:
GRUB Boot Multiboot openSUSE Windows (2000, XP, Vista) using the Grub bootloader.
Thanks …it works…Got my GRUB back:)
